CardConnect Test API Credentials

To test and validate site-level credentials, you can make a GET request with no body to the base URL.

LOCAL loHttp
LOCAL lcUrl
LOCAL lcResponseStr

*  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
*  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

*  The CardConnect REST Web Service base URL includes a protocol, host, port and servlet specification.
*  
*  For example:
*  https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/
*  
*  This represents an HTTPS request to the REST web service base URL. 
*  The servlet name is fixed within the application; the host and port are assigned by CardConnect. 

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

loHttp.BasicAuth = 1
loHttp.Login = "API_USERNAME"
loHttp.Password = "API_PASSWORD"

lcUrl = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/"
lcResponseStr = loHttp.QuickGetStr(lcUrl)

IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
? "response status code = " + STR(loHttp.LastStatus)

? "response string:"
? lcResponseStr

*  Sample output:

*  response status code = 200
*  response string:
*  <html lang="en"><body><h1>CardConnect REST Servlet</h1></body></html>
